Morning!
Once that paint brush get’s in my hand there is no telling what will get a new doo next…
perhaps a new roo is what I meant.
This guy here I have had for years.
In fact, he use to be outside in our South Florida home.
He held up well, but his coloring was outdated in my opinion and I thought,
what the hay, he needs a little paint.
You remember my last roo update?
she was a bewt..
I love this roo so much I decided my other old one needs an update as well.
sooooooooo…
so why stop there I asked myself?
I was working on another project at the time..stay tuned more to come on that
and I was
using Bayou blue
by La Craie
After I painted all but the tail and feet
I gave it a good coat of dark wax.
Lightly sanded so his original coloring would peek through here and there.
And there he is all gussied up, fresh and updated.
So fun to take a little paint and transform just about anything!
Thanks for stopping by today.

Girl you crack me up painting your roo again. It looks Beautiful!!
This is a different roo, I have roos all over the place!
You are the “Roo Whisperer,” Debbie! I love how with the stroke of your magical paint brush you gave them fabulous new looks! Great job!
Nice update, Debbie! I love how you have some of the old color showing through. Love those tail feathers!
Love all your Roo’s especially this one. He looks so charming now. Love it.

LOVE your Roo’s!! It’s great how they come back to life with just a little paint!~~Angela
wow, looks amazing! I love the bits of color peaking through,
Debbie, I used your inspired idea and spray painted my multi-colored roo into a lovely white glossy roo-a-doo. Thanks for the great ideas!
Awesome Susan! Amazing right how it can update your decor to new again!
Debbie, I noticed the tiny wax brush sitting next to your amazingly good looking Too, do you use that size on furniture? So many sites are sold out or so expensive I read that a pastry brush works well also, ??
I use that brush for small projects. I actually use a rag on furniture when I wax, it works wonders for me, but may not be the recommended for the experts out there. An old White T-shirt is exactly what I use:)
What great idea and it turned out fabulous! Love it, you have my brain working for when we move.

Oh how I LOVE your roo’s new doo Debbie!
Roo, looks quite dapper in his new look. You know nothing around here is safe from a paint brush.
Love this Roo! His paint colors are gorgeous.
Pretty Roo! 🙂
Blessings,
Cindy
I love the green roo, and the newly painted blue roo is a beauty, too! I need to follow suit and update my roos! 🙂
The paint really does update the piece! I have a wooden angel I’m thinking of doing this to, too!
Keep this up, sister, and we’ll be changing the name of this blog to Debbie Roos. I love this one as much as the first one. I did giggle when you said you were in the middle of another project when you stopped to do this. That, my friend, is why I can’t get anything accomplished these days.
So fresh and regal looking. Very statuesque.
Wow I Really Like the Updated Look!! You did an Awesome Job!!
Not a Rooster Gal except My Mother painted one I need to repair hmm
Do You know what works good on ceramics to repair? My Grandson broke it
on accident. And I Love him Me and My Mother and Daughter use to go to

Love the color. I started on a roo redo yesterday, too! woo-hoo, it’s true! i’ll stop now… 😀
He looks stunning! I love the color and the natural colors that show through. You know, when I’m out & about and see roos, I always think of you and smile.
Enjoy this updated handsome hunk!

Love your roo’s new do! LOL! (Sorry I couldn’t resist.) I’ve never used that brand of paint before. I like the soft color you used. I bet your paint storage is full!
I love your new, roo, do! He looks very majestic now.
